IE9 follows Firefox's behavior, but WebKit follows the standards. (in my understanding)

The HTML5 forms TR says that method="GET" means the form data is URL-encoded, and the algorithm for that returns the empty string. The action URL mutating algorithm says the query is set to this empty string, and then the URL is serialized using the URL spec. The URL spec says that if the query is non-null, the URL gets a "?".

Query computation: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#application/x-www-form-urlencoded-encoding-algorithm
Action URL mutating: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#submit-mutate-action
URL serializing: http://url.spec.whatwg.org/#serializing

Assuming we want to follow Firefox / IE instead of the standard, fixing this bug should be a matter of reverting the KURL change and updating the layout test in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8051

Please let me know. I'd be happy to submit a patch.
